1 Answer

An algorithm is a step-by-step set of procedure to perform a specific task or solve a particular problem. It is written in plain language or pseudocode (not actual programming code).And it is utilize to create a solution that a computer can easily understand and execute .

  • Example: Algorithm to add two numbers: Start Input the first number Input the second number Add the two numbers Display the result Stop A flowchart is a pictorical representation of a program that visually represents the steps in a process or algorithm using symbols like arrows, ovals, rectangles, and diamonds. Common Flowchart Symbols:

Oval → Start or End Rectangle → Process or Action Step Parallelogram → Input or Output Diamond → Decision (Yes/No)
